UFC’s Mike Perry outlines ‘only way I would hit a woman’

[CW: The following article includes descriptions of domestic violence]

Mike Perry, who is scheduled to fight Tim Means at UFC 255 in two weeks, was recently accused of domestic violence by his ex-wife. In a lengthy interview with MMA Junkie Danielle Nickerson said she was assaulted by Perry ‘a handful of times’ during their relationship.

Nickerson also detailed an incident she said occurred on February 10 in which she claims Perry used ground-and-pound on her and that she only managed to escape when he grew tired of hitting her. Nickerson said she fled from Perry, in fear of her life, and sought refuge with Perry’s mother.
